Her legal team argued that the way Cathay Home has styled the word "Swift" in its branding closely resembled the singer's trademarked cursive signature.
Cathay Home, which was founded in New York, says on its site that it sells products through major retailers, and had applied for the "Swift Home" trademark for its bedding items.
The BBC has contacted Cathay Home and the teams representing Swift for comment.
Swift, represented by TAS Rights Management LLC, appealed against Cathay Home's application in a document, seen by the BBC, which was issued to the US Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday.
The "Swift Home" mark creates a "false association" to the singer that may lead Cathay Home's customers to believe the pop star had endorsed its products in some way, the filing said.
This was done with the intent of using Swift's "goodwill and recognition" for the company's brand, her legal team said.
The documents said that Swift owns federal trademarks that protected the use of her name and signature on goods, including bedding, clothes and products related to her music.
Swift has filed more than 300 trademarks in the US and other jurisdictions, securing her name, initials, album titles and some lyrics.
The singer‑songwriter is estimated to have a net worth well above $1bn (£730 m), bolstered by her recent run of record-breaking live shows around the world.
The university took legal action after Cambridge Rowing Limited tried to register a trademark.
The video for Opalite was inspired by Norton's chat show, after Swift appeared on the sofa last year.
